The Dark Ages in Philly

Philly fans....

Pushing McNabb out the locker room to a division rival was one of the worst moves that could have been made. Kolb is NOT the answer to your woes. Lack of a running game as well as defensive calls were the problem this year. Donovan McNabb has been running the show in Philly with mediocre offensive talent since he came to Philly in 1999. 11 years 5 NFC Championships 1 Super Bowl 6 pro bowls... for Kolb.. unproven. had a great game against the chiefs... wow... is that even a comparison?

Donovan has put up more yardage without a pro bowl receiver than most. Most times the qbs fall flat on their face. Look @ Jason Campbell. Not flourishing at all! He has had wr's like Todd Pinkston, James Thrash, Todd Pinkston, Reggie Brown, Kevin Curtis, Donte' Stallworth. Just to name a few. Very forgetable names. He has also put up numbers in Andy Reid's pass first offense. There has not been a consistent running attack in Philly for years.

There are not too many qb's that you can put ahead of Donovan McNabb right now. He led the league in passes over 40 yrds this season. He turned DeSean Jackson into a star over the course of his short career. The ONE year that he had pro bowl wr that he didn't turn into a superstar, he was 64%. How many passes have wr's dropped over Donovan's career? Who knows WHERE he would be in terms of yardage if he had not have missed so many games due to injuries. Or if he had a Marvin Harrison or a Chad Ochocinco to throw the ball to. The possibilities would be endless.

The Eagles did NOTHING to help Donovan. The defense was upgraded throughout the tenure of of Mcnabb. He is the greatest qb in Eagles History.
Donovan McNabb's value has been long under appreciated. They have been calling for his head for years. All he has done was win. With MEDIOCRE talent. I guess once you see that Kolb ain't the answer and he beats you twice a year until he retires, you will have your foot in your mouth and say this guy is NOT that bad. He is still top 10 qb in the league. Eagle fans.. you got what you asked for all over again.. the dark ages...
